Section 86(1)(b) permits regulation of distribution licensees' procurement and approval of power purchase arrangements, including scrutiny of quantity and price, but it does not allow allocation of power to a licensee with no contract. Section 60 is only an anti-abuse provision and applies only on its statutory conditions; it cannot be combined with sections 23 and 86(1)(b) to impose equitable allocation.
